Scripts n Styles

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 97% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   Broke javascript in the Gutenberg block editor. Editing became painfully slow on my site with this plugin installed. It should be taken off WordPress.org

   HTML meta tags added in non-amp version is not showing in amp version. Like yoast SEO meta tags are shown in both the amp and non-amp version. But this plugin is not showing meta tags in both version i.e amp and non-amp. I am using multisite language site and I am using manual code of hreflang tag which is working fine in non-amp version but all codes and meta tags added in this plugin is not showing in amp version. Can u make it amp friendly?

   Does what is says and much more!! – you can add custom html, css, scripts in the header or footer globally, or on a per page basis. You can even generate your own shortcodes! You can also conditionally add generic site scripts above the included script, and add custom classes to the body or post or dropdowns that appear on the page. And to the 3-star reviewer who said that scripts are hardcoded with: <script type=”text/javascript”> The plugin lets you add your own code, but has the <script type=”text/javascript”> hardcoded, so it doesn’t help if you need other types of scripts. You can get around this by adding your entire script block using the HTML input area, rather than in the SCRIPTS input area. Fantastic little plugin that has become one of my go-tos in my ‘plugin essentials’ toolbox. Kudos to the dev for providing their time free of charge for us all to benefit from.

   Nice plugin. glad I found you, was only way for me to add JavaScript to rid my site of the new Facebook Click ID url strings bogging down my site and not being able to follow Google Analytics. Also love that the developer doesn’t “take no crap” from anyone! Again, thanks Buddy 5STARS!!!
